It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Anyone have any Wilhelm Stenhammer discs to recommend?

I collected a lot of Stenhammar on LP. I don't know if you play LPs or if any of the following have been transferred to CD. The best of the lot:

Serenade on Deutsche Grammophon with the Stockholm Philharmonic conducted by Rafael Kubelik

String Quartet No. 4 on Deutsche Grammophon played by the Vlach Quartet

Symphony Op.34 on a German Living Stereo RCA with the Stockholm Philharmonic conducted by Tor Mann

Intermezzo from "The Song" Symphonic Cantata and Suite from incidental music from R. Tagore's play "Chitra" on Swedish EMI with the Stockholm Philharmonic conducted by Herbert Blomstedt

Piano Concerto No. 2 on Swedish EMI with Janos Solyom, piano, and the Munich Philharmonic conducted by Stig Westerberg

The Janos Solyom record is outstanding with excellent sound. He also recorded the the piano pieces 3 Fantasies, Late Summer Nights, and the Sonata for violin and piano on CBS and Swedish EMI. Again outstanding performances and excellent sound.

I have one of the early BIS Stenhammar LPs. I never duplicated any of the performances on BIS CDs. I was too satisfied with the recordings listed above. All are imported LPs which had limited circulation in the US, but I liked the music enough to search them out over the years.
